No need to rent a car if staying in this quaint studio apartment. The ferry terminal is just two blocks west. Taxi's and publico's line up there to transport guests around our island. Continue west one more block for a nice assortment of restaurants, provisions, and gift shops.

The house is 5 mins walking away from the ferry. It is very convenient, clean and quiet. The host is very warm to provide all information we need to travel on the island.

Darla is such a sweetheart! Her place was just as advertised, very cozy and clean. Highly recommended.

AdzmelApril 2016

Darla was very nice and informative host of Vieques.

SoniaJuly 2016

Darla. Wonderful, wonderful Darla. Where do I even begin? We arrived at the Fajardo ferry around 2am on Sunday night in hopes of catching the 4am boat to Vieques. After some hustling, we were able to obtain tickets to cross the 16 miles of sea. After a bumpy, sea sprayed voyage, we arrived in Isabel Segunda around 6am. Mind you, our check-in was scheduled for 3pm. Tired, wet and cranky, we ventured out into the town in search of somewhere we could hang out and possibly sleep –sit for a while, but to no avail. The best we could do at the time was purchase a couple of coconut waters from the mercado and wait. In an act of desperation, we texted Darla in hopes she would let us check in a little earlier than 3. And then the clouds parted to reveal a dazzling ray of light shining down on Calle Morropo. There, delicately perched on a step, was Darla, calling to us, with open arms. Tiny blue birds chirping and fluttering about her; all flora and fauna whimsically dancing at her feet. We were saved. Darla showed us in and explained the island in detail. She gave us great advice on what to do and how to go about doing it. She even called us a cab to take us to Esperanza later that day. The house in which we stayed was very cozy and had a great number of amenities. 100% would recommend as mom away from home.

AllisonJuly 2016

Darla was such a great host, very patient and accomodating. She met us @ the ferry which is quite close to the apartment. It was convenient for both checking in and checking out. DAtlanta was very accessible if we had any questions or concerns. She also put together a notebook with great tips and information about modes of getting around the island and things to do. We enjoyed our time and definitely recommend staying at Darla's when visiting Vieques.

TsungiAugust 2016

Very accessible host and easy check-in. Multiple recommendations for the island and a binder in the apartment. Close to the ferry dock as well. Parking in driveway with gate and apartment feels safe, despite being in less than appealing neighborhood.

Brandon April 2016

Darla has been extremely helpful with planning our time on Vieques. She provided tons of tips for checking out local beaches and restaurant. We could also use the snorkeling gear. Great place to stay!

Kate was a wonderful host! We had some delays in Puerto Rico and she was very accommodating for us since we arrived much later than anticipated. We even ended up staying an extra night. The location is very convenient just a 5 minute walk to the ferry and right next to Als Mar Azul bar which has an amazing view of the ocean. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Definitely recommend.

Great affordable stay very very near to the ferry! Which made it super easy to take the early morning ride back to Fajardo. Kate and her mother also gave a lot of helpful advice about getting around Viesque.

WayneJune 2016

This place was very convenient as described. Pamela was very friendly! There were many place to eat nearby. Bath is shared with people from 2 other rooms.

MiDecember 2015

Pamela was so incredibly helpful! She gave us tons of recommendations and met us right when we got off the ferry. A great place to stay and a very reasonable price!

AndrewNovember 2016

5 points - 1. Friendly host 2. Very close ferry 3. Place is value for the money - nothing more, nothing less 4. Host helps with the local information 5. Host hooked us up with Isabel who drove us around

MadhurNovember 2015

We communicated with and were hosted by Kate’s mom Pamela. Pamela was helpful in giving us information about tours, schedules, food, beaches, and eager to point us in the right direction once we arrived to check in. We talked to Pamela only during our check-in actually. Although we couldn’t check in early, Pamala graciously stored our suitcase and backpack in her second-hand store for a couple of hours while the room (Aries) was being readied. Isabel II is a very small town and you can walk anywhere. Still, the place is in a super convenient location. It’s short walk from both the ferry terminal, one of the beaches, and a couple of restaurants. The rooms and common areas are kept clean. It’s overall a great value for tourists interested in exploring the beaches most of the day and simply looking for a place to sleep for a couple of nights (we stayed for two). To any travelers looking to stay here, I’d recommend bringing your own shampoo. The basics (TP, soap, & towels) are provided. Also bring the heaviest-duty mosquito protection you can find! The kitchenette’s got a mini-fridge, toaster oven, coffee maker, and disposable plates & glasses. It’s not a kitchen though (no sink although the bathroom sink is within arms reach) so I wouldn’t really count on preparing or storing your own food. Window AC unit looks brand new and cools the place nicely. The taxi from the airport cost us $10. Tell the driver to take take you to Lighthouse Café if they don’t know the address. It seems like taxis will take you most places on the island for $6. Renting a scooter for the day is a great way to get around.

EmirDecember 2015

The host is friendly and kindhearted. She helped us book taxi and bio bay tour, but she did not answer our phone after 6 pm until we leave.

Sal del Mar is located in the town of Isabel Segunda on the island of Vieques. We are close to just about everything, including the ferry, and you can hear the waves crashing on Sea Glass beach below. The expansive deck offers a lovely ocean view that stretches for miles.

Your lodging will be located on second floor (UP) of our home. Your view from the back deck will be wonderful and the ocean will shimmer in the sunlight. You will be treated to marvelous sunsets right from your own back porch! This fully refurbished apartment, including new furniture, is our home away from home. With an updated kitchen and laundry, and within walking distance of just above everything else, who could want for more!
If the upstairs apartment isn't available, please check out our downstairs apartment listing, Sal del Mar (D).
There is one private bedroom and a futon couch located in the living room. While our maximum occupancy is listed as four, this is a small space so you will have to know each other very well if there are more than two of you. We can sleep two comfortably, three with ease, and four in a pinch.
Sal del Mar (UP) includes a wonderful street side porch, a large living room, an updated kitchen with a new range and refrigerator, toaster oven, pots, pans, blender, dishes and everything you need to prepare your own meals. There is even a propane BBQ grill on the back deck!
There is a small bathroom with a shower and a small bedroom. The rear deck faces the ocean; the front porch offers street side views.
This apartment is not recommended for infants, toddlers, or children under the age of five (5) due to stairs, railings, and an open front porch.
We are typically on island mid-December to mid-March. If your reservations are during this time, we will meet you at the Vieques airport or ferry dock. If not, our property manager will meet you. Once you arrive, you will be given the keys, learn a little bit about the house and its many features, and have a chance to ask questions.
Access to the apartment is by an exterior set of stairs; there are fifteen steps and a handrail leading to the apartment. There is also a wonderful front porch, and an ocean view back deck, which you are free to use. Please note that the upstairs apartment has a separate entrance that is not connected to or shared with the downstairs apartment.
Our home is only a seven minute walk from the Vieques ferry terminal. One can usually walk faster than drive, as the only traffic jam in Vieques occurs when the ferry arrives!
Regardless of how you get here, someone will meet you to make sure you are settled in and ready to enjoy your time on the island!
We are usually "on-island" the months of mid-December to mid-March. While we may not be on Vieques when you are, we will always be available by phone, text message, or email for any questions that you might have. In addition, our property manager lives on the island and can assist as needed. You are more than welcome to text or call us if you have questions or concerns.

We love that our neighborhood is close to the heart of Isabel. We walk everywhere... to the store, restaurants, beach, lighthouse, fort, ferry and fish market.
We love that during the day we have the usual noises of a small town, from laughter to loud music, to children playing in the street and horses (as well as dogs, chickens and cats) walking up and down the street at all hours of the day and night.
We love that we can hear the ocean below, the tree frogs above, and the wind in the trees.
We love the warm ocean breezes and the fact that you can dry your clothes on the back porch railing in 60 minutes or less.
Most of all, we love the feeling of community that we have in Vieques!
Isabel Segunda, or Isabel II (also called Isabel, "town", or the "pueblo") is a walking town. We encourage you to walk everywhere and often and see the sights and smells and sounds of our wonderful little town.
To get to the Caribbean beaches, you will need to hire a publico (like a taxi), a taxi, or rent a car. Of course, if you are on foot and don't want the hassle of a vehicle, Sea Glass Beach is only three minutes away. We typically walk there every afternoon for a swim.
The Caribbean beaches are oh-so-nice, but other than Sun Bay, facilities are very limited. Bring everything you will need including water and sunscreen. We have two beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler for your use.
If you are not into walking, and don't want to take a publico or taxi, the nearest car rental company is within walking distance (Vieques Car Rental) and Avis is just a bit further down the road. During the high season (December to April) we encourage you to make your reservations well in advance. Rental cars rent for $50 to $80 a day (or more) on the island.
We have included in our rental fee the 7% tourism tax required by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
When you stay in the town of Isabel there is little need to rent a car! You can walk just about everywhere, but if you do want to rent a car, please make your reservations in advance.
We do have a small TV with DVD player and HDMI cable available for your use. We do not have cable TV. You can stream movies on our Internet if there are not too many devices using it. Our Internet provider does not support gaming.
We have provided a washer and dryer for you use. Consider packing light.
Many US cell phones carriers provide service on Vieques, with no roaming charges.
The tap water is excellent and the currency is the US Dollar. There are a number of ATM's in town, and grocery store ATM's usually have the lowest surcharge fees. Most of the shops, stores, and restaurants accept ATM and credit cards, but some places only take cash. Many vendors also have minimum limits on ATM and credit card charges (e.g., varies from $5 to $15).

Mike and Marie had everything we needed. We got there and a bowl of fruit was on the counter coffee in the frig. We stayed two weeks so we did laundry. I think a line on the outside front deck might be nice to dry clothes if its raining.We like breakfast smoothies and they had a powerful enough blender for that. Their host Freddy picked us up at airport and showed us around before going to house. He was just a text away if we needed any assistance. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

KathyJuly 2016

Mike and Marie thought of everything! Mike, Marie, and Freddy had great recommendations for us, great communication throughout our stay, and the space was excellent, and much beyond my expectations. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Vieques, and when I go back in the future I would love to stay here again. Thanks so much Mike and Marie!

SeanApril 2016

We had a great stay at Marie and Mikes place! It is big, has a lovely balcony where you can watch the sunset, its clean and close to restaurants. We never met them, but a really nice guy, Freddy, met us at the Ferry. He showed us around before driving us to the house. I recomend this place to everyone!

LindaMarch 2016

Our stay at Sal de Mar was spectacular! The caretaker was kind enough to pick us up from the ferry, then gave us a brief tour of the town, pointing out all the good spots, before taking us to the apartment. The house itself was perfect, very nicely furnished, and even nicer than it looked in the photos. We especially loved the large, fairly secluded, back deck with barbecue grill and views of the sunset over the water. The house is very convenient for walking to food, shops, and restaurants. We did regret not having a vehicle to get around the island (but we planned everything very last minute!). Sal de Mar was fantastic, we would definitely come back!

seanFebruary 2016

Our stay on Vieques was fun. We rented a scooter to get to the beaches. We spent most days over near Esperanza. The horses wandering the streets and out at the beach were like the deer in Colorado. Freddie was great. The house is just as described. My favorite part was eating on the deck and going to the fisherman in the am and getting fresh fish and lobster.

LaDonna June 2016

I am a repeat guest! My first stay was six months ago, in the downstairs apartment. I left their first review, and said I was coming back! And I did!! Once again, Mike and Marie were perfect hosts. The reservation process couldn't be any simpler or efficient. I rented the upstairs apartment this trip, and was just as delighted as I was on the last trip with the downstairs apartment. Clean, modern, and close to everything. Nice beach three minutes away, a grocery store and several restaurants within a couple of blocks, and a view of the sunsets to die for! The upstairs apartment has a nice deck on the back looking over the ocean--you can actually hear the waves crashing on the beach at night. Wonderful breezes flow through the apartment, no need for A/C but they have it just in case! Great wifi--never had an issue with the Internet service while we were there. Again, I am a repeat guest and I am just as impressed with the upstairs apartment as I was with the downstairs apartment before (please read my previous review--it's still valid!). Lovely apartment in the heart of town, close to everything, clean, comfortable and well worth the money. Try Sal del Mar! You will love it, too.

TomJune 2016

Marie and Mike have a little piece of paradise in Sal de Mar! The apartment is fully equipped for anything you need, from dishes & wine opener to beach towels and snorkeling gear. We did not take advantage of the stove or grill because they are so conveniently located near a great selection of restaurants and cafes. Our favorite was watching the absolutely beautiful sunsets over the water from the deck while relaxing with a glass of wine. Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful place!

Heath & WendyFebruary 2016

Mike and Marie are great hosts! The flat is cosy, light, fresh renovated, quite, airy, and great view on seaglass beach! Freddy, the housekeeper is very nice too! We are very very satisfied! Thank you for everything! Grazie Mille! We recommended!!

La Joya is an unexpected jewel in the center of town. Close to art and culture, groceries, banking, restaurants, and the beach. The roof deck is under repair at the moment. This jewel is good for couples or solo adventurers. This nicely furnished first floor studio has a well equipped kitchen, a king size bed, beach gear and coolers and access to a shared washing machine. There is a second floor 2 bedroom apartment which can be rented together or separately to accommodate larger groups.

A few weeks ago we had a deluge from a passing tropical storm . 5 days of rain cause damage to the roof deck of the building that this unit is in. It does not affect this unit, it is fine and dry and has no issues, however it may not be possible to use the roof deck at this time as there will be work going on. I am an very sorry for the inconvenience. and we will post any changes right here

You can almost reach out and touch the islands gourmet store, Buen Provecho, where apart from all the goodies Chris offers breakfast and yummy sandwiches and baked good. The second largest grocery store on island is just steps away and is open most nights except Sunday until nine. Walk to half a dozen bars and restaurants. This is a fun place to be!

-Front desk staff available for check-in, questions, assistance from 8 am – 7 pm daily.
The Casa Roja building is located across the street from the "main" Bravo Beach Hotel property.
The hotel office and front gate are open from 8 am – 7 pm daily. Guests have access to the hotel common areas 24 hours a day through the front gate or our secure “after hours” entrance. The swimming pools are open from 8 am to 9 pm (ocean side pool) and 8 am to 11 pm (garden pool).
If you expect to arrive after 7 pm for a check-in, we ask that you notify us in advance so we can make arrangements for someone to meet you.
Our office is open from 8 am – 7 am daily. The front desk staff will check you in to your room, give you a tour of the property, and answer any questions you may have about your stay in Vieques. They will also go over the Vieques map with you including locations for the best beaches, restaurants, shops and points of interest. They can also assist you with tour recommendations or booking.
Housekeeping tidies the rooms daily. Guests staying a week or longer will have their sheets and towels changed mid-way through the stay. Beach towels can be exchanged in the front office (during regular office hours) as needed.

We are located in the Bravos de Boston neighborhood on the north shore of Vieques. The neighborhood is a mix of full time Viequense and North American residents and also vacation homes.
We are a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry terminal and the town of Isabel Segunda. Isabel Segunda is an authentic Puerto Rican town that has a lot to offer visitors – 10+ restaurants, panaderias (bakeries), grocery stores (including gourmet and a health/specialty store) and tourist shops.
Vieques is accessed by ferry from the main island or by small plane from the San Juan International Airport or the smaller regional airports of Isla Grande (San Juan) or Roosevelt Roads (Ceiba). You can walk to the hotel from the ferry terminal or take a taxi. If you fly, you will need to take a taxi to the hotel from the Vieques Airport. We recommend flying, as it is the fastest and most reliable way to get to Vieques.
Once here, we recommend renting a vehicle as it is the best and most convenient way to travel on the island. Rental vehicles are limited, so please reserve as soon as possible (especially during the winter months and holidays). If you book with us, you will receive a special link to Vieques Car Rental with your confirmation email. Otherwise, you can take taxis around the island, but most taxis do not travel late at night or to all of the beaches (typically Playa Caracas/Red Beach and Sun Bay only).
It is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel to Isabel Segunda.
Beach chairs, beach/pool towels and coolers are available at no additional charge. Beach umbrellas are available for rent in the office.
The main Bravo Beach Hotel property is located on the coast, however the beach is rocky and not ideal for swimming.
The wifi is available in the common areas only. Since we are an “island off island”, we do not receive the same fast connection speed you may be used to on the continental U.S. The internet service on island is notoriously slow and often drops randomly for minutes or hours at a time. We get annoyed by this too and do our best to keep it running as consistently as possible.
The daily continental breakfast consists of fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, bread for toasting with spreads, cereals, coffee, orange juice, milk and soy milk. If you have food allergies, we recommend you come to the island with any specialty items you may need. Gluten free items are not consistently available in Vieques.
There is an ice machine in the common space available for guest use.
We do not have laundry facilities on site for guest use. We do offer a basic wash and fold service for $20 per load. No delicates or items requiring special care or instructions.

My fiance and I stayed at this venue for 3 nights. It was located in a quiet neighbourhood, which felt safe and was about 5 mins walk from the ferry terminal and town. It was relatively easy to find and we were greeted by a friendly receptionist. She indicated on a map places we can get food, car rentals/taxi and other places of interest. Overall the experience was pretty good value for money spent

LatoyaOctober 2015

This place is very convenient to stay in Vieques, very close to the ferry and to Subways food store ( the only one in the Island). Also walking distance to lots of places to eat and supermarkets/ bakery. The best beaches re on the other side of the Island so you need to rent a car at least for one or two days. The hotel gives you a nice breakfast and the two pools are great as well as the beach chairs and coolers that you can use. I will go back and stay there for sure.

soraiaAugust 2016

The apartment was great, comfortable, and clean. Less than a 5 minute walk from the ferry. Janna and Carl went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our ferry was delayed and Carl met us after-hours to check us in. This was very much appreciated. Will recommend to others traveling to Vieques!

AlexandraAugust 2016

Close to ferry. Away from noisy downtown area. Quite and close to restaurants. Very good breakfast.

YueOctober 2015

Good service, very nice people. They gave us a tour of the hotel and the house. The ocean view pool was awesome. The house was clean and very pretty. Overall great experience. Looking foward for the next stay

LisbetJuly 2016

Great place to stay. It was clean and neat, just like the pictures. The apartment is managed by the Bravo Beach Hotel, therefore, you will have clean sheets an towels during your stay. You will have access to the hotel facilities and services (they also let you borrow coolers and beach chairs). It was awesome. The neighborhood is very quiet and secure. I will definitely stay here again.

David our host was very personable and informative. He owns the coffee shop right next door that serves breakfast. We enjoyed waking up and walking over for a quick breakfast and a cup of coffee while we planned our day. Our rental was just like the pictures, the indoor out door living was amazing but still provided us with privacy. The bed was very comfortable too. After we left Vieques we went to San Juan and we kept saying that we wished we had spent the whole time in Vieques at Davids rentals.

JessicaFebruary 2016

David's place is great!! Decor and design are perfection and you are right in town close to everything. Waking up with the water fall pool is so relaxing! Big score on the island.

JonicaDecember 2015

David was a great host. La Casita was centrally located, with strong AC and fans. Plunge pool was a cool feature.

DavidFebruary 2016

David was very available and informative and hospitable .

lisaMarch 2016

La Casita is such an amazing, relaxing space, you would be crazy not to stay! It is listed for $125/night but I would've paid $200 for the experience! The place appears to be brand new. The layout was awesome. Fully decorated. One of my favorite details was the bedrooms gigantic sliding door. I loved the outdoor kitchen. Each morning felt refreshing and it made cooking my own breakfast inviting. Dave is a good dude. He communicated with me throughout my stay and offered me coffee at his cafe, Roys, while I waited early morning for my taxi to the airport. I can't wait to come back to La Casita!

TanyaFebruary 2016

David was an amazing host and met us outside the gated property to greet us. La Casita is in such a great location. 5 minute walk from the Ferry. Cute shops and restaurants all around. There is also a scooter rental at the end of the block that was super convenient and tons of fun getting around the island. La Casita is private, spacious, modern and beautiful. Great attention to detail, the decor is comfortable and chic! My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here.

LaurenMarch 2016

David was the perfect host and La Casita was exactly what we were hoping for! We were impressed with the pictures when we booked and were even more impressed when we arrived. The indoor/outdoor space is great for starting the day with a cup of coffee or ending the night with a glass of wine. You are centrally located in the heart of Isabel but it feels like you are secluded in a little urban oasis. Easy walk to a number of restaurants and adjacent to Roy's Cafe, David's place next door. Secure off-street parking was great for our rental Jeep, which we used to hit secluded beaches and 15-minute trips to Esperanza and some great spots in the interior of the island. We would absolutely stay here again on a return visit. Thanks David!

KevinApril 2016

Staying in Vieques was the best part of our 3 week trip. Loved the island and Davids spot was very comfortable. He looked after us well and it was so nice to have our own private pool after visiting beautiful beaches all day. I would definitely stay here again!

Charlotte was gone during our stay so we were hosted by Bill, who was very welcoming and extremely helpful. Charlotte's place was perfect for a no-thrills intimate getaway, we loved the views of the refuge and wild horses (despite the mosquitos :) ). I would definitely recommend a Jeep in general for the island as well as Charlotte's place. Everything was set perfectly for our stay and we definitely enjoyed getting used to the island life, especially the outdoor showers! Would definitely recommend to the airbnb community

TarekNovember 2016

We had a great time here. Charlotte was helpful and sent plenty of well detailed information before arrival. Miriam was helpful and informative upon arrival. The place was great and had everything we need. I really enjoyed eating some passion fruit from the yard and tossing the ones found on the ground to the wild horses that seemed to have made the neighbors yard their new home. It's really relaxing just to lay in the hammock with the breeze and watch the clouds and the horses. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay at your great place. ah

AdrianAugust 2016

Took a few days to visit the island and chose to rent from Charlotte, the unit is small, but just right for two and is surrounded by horses. It sits on a hill with a nice view and constant breezes. The roof is perfect for stargazing! The shower is outside on the deck without hot water, a little cold at night but great in the sun. Met Johnny on the island and he was very helpful, even after we missed the ferry and he had to change his plans to meet us. He recommended Panadería Viequense and it was very good, we also loved Sabores. You can get around with 741Taxi but it's best to rent a 4WD, you're going to need one to see Blue Beach and Mosquito Bay

JustinMay 2015

The neighborhood was quiet except for the chirping of birds, the breeze, and the horses neighs, not to shabby we'd say. The neighbors were friendly and the local cats and dogs were too. Villa Tessa Rose was everything we hoped. It had the comforts of home combined with the beauty and simplicity of island life. We cannot sing enough praise for this gem.

sarah and paulMay 2016

Had such a wonderful stay at Villa Tessa Rose. Charlotte provided us with good info about the island and all we needed for a great experience on Vieques. The house is lovely, really perfect for a long stay for two. Was great to lounge on the deck, see the stars, listen to nature, drive to a beautiful beach and come back to make dinner at "home." Thanks again Charlotte.

This studio has a great beach design and furniture. The home has a closet closet and fold out futon in the living room – so it comfortably sleeps 4 people (2 on the queen bed and 2 on futon). It has a full kitchen, bathroom, and a balcony – but is in very close walking everything in case you do not want to cook or rent a car.
This city home is in walking distance of the Ferry and a short cab ride from the Airport. We also have on-street parking next to the house if you rent a car (but you really do not need a car if you have a house in the city). The beach is within walking distance and if you want to go to one of the un-touched beaches (highly recommended) in Vieques you can arrange a tour or cab that will take you out and bring you back. The Black Beard Shop is right down the road so you can sign up for any tours or adventures while you are here. You really have to see the Bio Bay – it is probably one of the most amazing places you will ever visit. Also – I have been to just about every Island in the Caribbean – none of them compare to Vieques because they have never been built on or built up (over 41% of the Vieques is nature reserve) and no one built when this island use to be a target range for the US Navy. This was actually a blessing in disguise as you will find when you go Snorkeling or have an unbelievable beach all to yourself all day - this place is like no place on earth.
Everything in the house to include towels, beach supplies, ect.
This is the entire first floor of the town house and is a separate apartment from the top floor - I offer a discount if you would like to rent both at the same time.
I am available anytime and I also have someone that maintains the house that can help you with any issues at a moments notice.

This apartment is phenomenal! Very well equipped with kitchen utensils, blender, toaster, coffee maker, dish washer and washer and dryer, bunch of beach towels available plus beach chairs and snorkeling equipment. The shower is great and bed is super comfortable. The place is supper bright during the day, and in a quiet part of the town at night. The host is super responsive and got back to me always within minutes for any question and request. You definitely need a car/scooter to discover the beautiful parts of the island. Be very careful with the wild horses that run into the road at night. Would definitely go back to this apartament!

AldaraJanuary 2016

Great space and location. Very clean.

PeterMarch 2016

I liked the stay at this place. The available washer and dryer was a great help for us. The only thing is that make sure you have a rental Jeep to move around the island. The Island Rentals was the only place who rented for one day...other places looks like need 2 days.

NinanJune 2016

Waylon was very easy to communicate with and the apartment was exactly as described. It is right in town Isabel Segunda and walking distance to every shops and restaurants. However to visit the rest of the island it is best to rent a Jeep. The sea glass beach is really not a beach I would go to. The apartment comes with snorkel equipments, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, umbrella... so it was so nice to have all this to our disposition. Even though I didn’t meet Waylon, he was always available and a phone call away in case of need and Julye was on the island to resolve any issue arising.

AgnesJuly 2016

We had a great stay at the blue house! The house was clean and in great condition. Not to mention there are beach accessories for the guests convenience. It is walking distance to several restaurants, shops, and mini groceries.

ChristineDecember 2015

A good experience overall. Island was not that busy because of off-season and Zika scare so things were slow around the town. Nonetheless plenty of grear dining options and cool places near the apartment.

AhmadMay 2016

Waylon welcomed us and made for a convenient arrival process. Communication was excellent and he was available if we had needed anything. The property and accommodations were as represented in the listing. It appeared to have been recently updated and was very comfortable. Street parking was readily available. Beach equipment was a nice bonus. Vieques is a beautiful island and we wish we had planned for more time there.

JeffreyJune 2016

Waylon's place was well-located and easy to get to and get around from. It had all the amenities that were necessary. Whenever I had a question, he would reply promptly as well. A good stay.

Coco Caribe is a new, large, 1 BR apartment in Bravos de Boston with full kitchen, off street parking, within walking distance of the ferry. It has new AC, polished concrete floors, full access to large back yard, where you can relax in the hammock

The house was perfect. We were picked up at the ferry and shown around town before being dropped off at the house. Anytime I visit I will be staying here.

NecoMay 2016

The property manager received us at the ferry terminal. Even before that, he contacted us to ensure our arrival time and did give us information about ferry tickets, package tours and how to get around. The property is really nice and peaceful. We didn't spend much time on the property, as we were there only for a day. But it was well maintained, meshed throughout, has a backyard with a hammock under a mango tree. There were some constructions going on in the surroundings, probably a restaurant coming up. Everything is close by, the downtown, restaurants, access to taxi or public transport. We walked on the streets late at night, which was really safe. Overall, we loved Vieques!

GowthamSeptember 2016

Very clean house. Property manager is very friendly and even pick us from the airport. The only problem is, there are many chicken nearby. And they crowed from 1:20AM and last the whole night the day we stay. But seems like this is common problem on the island.

The house is lovely, private and a beautiful place to wake up in. The kitchen is large and I would like to stay longer and cook meals there as there is everything you need. The place is perfect for a relaxing stay in vieques :) April is also very sweet and a great host.

GaliaNovember 2014

April and Verito were great hosts and the house was perfect! It was so nice staying right on the beach. It is a short walk from the ferry and a short drive to either of the two towns on Vieques. Make sure to rent a Jeep so you can explore the whole island and visit different beaches (watch out for horses!). We used Maritza's Car Rental which picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry. Tradewinds is a great seafood restaurant for dinner in Esperanza. We enjoyed doing the the Bio Bay one night. Overall, I loved my time in Vieques!

KathleenApril 2015

My partner and I had a great stay at April & Verito's beautiful guesthouse. The view from our room was gorgeous and we were so happy to have direct access to the beach backyard. They were great hosts, the house was impeccably clean and had all the amenities we needed. April was always available over text to answer any questions we had. I would (and have already) recommend this guesthouse to my friends.

MarshaSeptember 2015

The island of Vieques is beautiful with many lovely beaches and quaint places to eat and explore. Host April, kept communication open and was understanding even when we were delayed with traffic and the ferry, which was 2 hours late. She even offered to pick us up, but we decided to walk because the house was only 10 minutes from the ferry. The house itself is very basic, if you are just looking for a place to sleep where you can hear the ocean and enjoy beautiful views then this could be it. The water is beautiful, vividly blue and literally in the back yard. The snorkeling however is not good and I would suggest water shoes. The ocean floor is full of sharp rocks and sea urchins. For those who have never traveled to Vieques before you should have realistic expectations, the neighborhood is a bit run down, with many abandoned houses. If you are interested in visiting the bio bays you should go on Saturday and make sure you plan ahead. The regulations regarding visitation have changed. The accommodation was conveniently located, after our initial meeting I never saw April so it felt secluded. We did see a few other guest but only in passing. Make sure you keep in mind common areas are shared and the house, doors and windows are left open day and night. A stray cat came inside and kept trying to get into our room, and followed us around meowing when we spent time downstairs in the common area. All in all, an ok experience. I would recommend this accommodation to a younger adventurous individual or couple looking for bare bone accommodations and a beautiful view.

Alyse July 2014

Such a great stay in a beautifully, and very personal house. Lots of great little details - rolled up fresh towels, recycling, ability to use second floor balcony when no guest is checked in there, awesome advice by both Verito and April, and and and... Amazing view, and it was good stepping being snorkelling literally 3 minutes after arrival. Snorkelling gear supplied, too. The other guests I met were also very friendly. Questions both before and during the stay were answered thoroughly and promptly. I can only recommend this place in the highest possible way. And when you have a few days here, be sure to rent a Jeep, and expolore the inland as well!

MartinOctober 2014

This place is a great find. My boyfriend and I stated there for 3 nights and it was the relaxation we needed. Given, we were the only ones staying in the house which is one thing I really enjoyed. A whole house on the beach to yourselves, how can you go wrong? We enjoyed the 10 minute walk into town daily. Locals were great at recommending places to eat and see. The best meal we had on the island was Conuco. Don't waste your money on Coqui Fire (expensive and cheaply created mexican food). I would definitely return and stay here again, and eat at Conuco every night! Thank you April for a great stay on this gorgeous island.

AlbertoNovember 2016

great location and only a few minutes walk to many downtown attractions. The host set me up with a vehicle right away and provided great directions to beach locations. Was a good time!

JoeAugust 2016

The housing experience was very nice and easy. Carlos was very kind allowing us to do the check in late in the afternoon as it was the only time we could do it. The place was charming and close to the Ferry, which allows easy commute to Puerto Rico island

FranciscoJuly 2016

We really enjoyed our stay here at this beautiful wild island. Carlos gave us many good advice, he picked us at the San juan airport and gave us a lift to Fajardo ferry, bought ferry tickets for us, he rented us a car.... Thanks Carlos!!! Vieques guest house is like a hostel, but clean, nice and very spaceus. If you are looking for a low budget accomodation, this will be the best place to stay!!!

BoštjanOctober 2016

Host provided his number and other phone numbers to call for tours, taxis and questions. Host was friendly and available by phone. He was especially kind to meet us in San Juan to return some rings that my friend left under her pillow. He went out of his way for us and we really appreciate this.

EllenNovember 2016

Johnny was really nice and spoke perfect English. The room was very clean and smelled great. It has a microwave, clean sheets, towels, and a soft Queen size bed. The room was very comfortable as the fan cools the room as the Ocean breeze flows right through the windows. The bathroom is right next to the Sunshine room so that made it all the more convenient. I loved listening to the sounds of the Island throughout the night, but if you need quiet there are earplugs available on the nightstand. Also, Johnny has a horse riding business which I wish I had the time to experience. I should've taken a taxi to the house because the streets get dark as night falls which made it harder to find the house. Although the house is only 2 blocks (or so) up the hill towards the left of the ferry. Make sure you contact Johnny beforehand so he can give you walking directions to his place or you might get sidetracked. Be prepared to encounter some dogs that will bark but are no real danger to anyone, as I walked right passed a few. Last but not least, the Biobay is a must see when visiting Vieques. I had the pleasure of having Dindin's Bio Bay Tours escort us and he is the only guide that will pick you up from the place you are staying. In other words, I Loved staying at Johnnys place during my trip to Vieques.

AlexOctober 2016

Great place to stay for a couple of nights to explore the island.

SonyaNovember 2016

The little house was as described, very basic. It seems like this is already the edge of the village. The lack of AC is definitely an issue.

TamasApril 2016

We stayed 2 nights at the Sunshine room. The room is according to its description. Short distance from the ferry. Towles, soap, bug spray, a fan and clean sheets. Smells nice. There was even som welcome candy and info about Vieques. Lovely! Johnny is happy, very friendly and helpful. Always responds to messages. No worries. Picked us up as we were walking to his house from the ferry. The south side of Vieques is were you really want to be (we think atleast), but the money we saved on renting the sunshine room we could use to rent a scooter, which you really need anyways if you want to get around the island! If you need wifi, there is an open wifi spot at Subway right above the ferry terminal. Like a 7 minutes walk from Johnnys. Like in all of the caribbean there will be roosters and dogs roaming around. Just use earplugs! Can't blame Johnny for that. The caribbean loves them chickens! =) Johnny has two dogs on his property, if you think thats scary be sure that you just greet with them when Johnny shows you the place so when you return to the house when it is dark they can recognize you. We returned both nights late and nobody were home. One night the dogs ignored us and the other night they did one bark when we came, sniffed us out and then it was ok. No worries! We enjoyed Vieques!

ErikApril 2016

We had a good stay in johnnys doll house. Johnny was very helpful with everything and also managed the bio bay tour for us. We went horseback riding with him along the beach what was a great experience :)

ChristaJuly 2016

Abby - Johnny's wife was so welcoming and kind. On the first day she gave me a ride to the ferry where I was getting a cab to the other side of the island. On the second day she gave me some medication to help with a swollen eye due to a bug bit during my bio bay tour! I appreciate everything she did to make my stay great :))

JoannaJuly 2016

Johnny and his wife were wonderful and welcoming. The room is private and clean. Bring bug spray and put on before you enter. They only bite for a minute but its the island life. They also are nice enough to leave ear plugs which I did not know why until the roosters started at 6am. But that's all part of Vieques I had a wonderful time and Johnny's place was perfect.

Beautifully furnished apartment, convenient location, all with a great view and breeze.

(note: please inquire about discounts for stays of 4+ nights, also please shoot me a message before submitting a reservation request for one-night stays as I only accept them depending on other reservations.)
The space includes a stocked kitchen, living area with fantastic views of the last Spanish Fort in the New World as well as the surrounding hills, bedroom area with a new and very comfortable Serta bed (mattress and pillows protected by hotel-grade allergen-proof cases for any allergy sufferers), an extra air bed if needed, clean bathroom, wi-fi, Bose computer speakers for your laptop or smartphone, etc. The apartment also includes just about all you need for a great day at the beach: cooler, chairs, beach towels, etc.
This apartment is definitely a great chance to experience local life in Vieques as well as the convenience of having everything you need within walking distance--get fantastic Puerto Rican coffee at Roy's or La Panaderia in the mornings, stroll through one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world on the way to a drink and views at Al's Mar Azul in the afternoon, and walk down to holiday festivities in the town plaza at night. The benefits of the in-town locale does come with the occasional noise of daily life: the trucks coming off the cargo ferry, roosters crowing (although that's pretty much everywhere on the island!), and the occasional kid playing reggaeton while driving down main street. Some weekend and holiday nights are noisier than others, though some can be very quiet. For this reason, I keep the rates the same on weekends and holidays as the weekday rate
While I spend a lot of time in the States, if I am not in Vieques during your stay, the property manager lives nearby if a problem should arise. Also, having lived and worked on the island for a number of seasons, I am happy to provide advice regarding any and all aspects of Vieques, and to answer any questions you might have before and during your trip via airbnb, phone, or e-mail.
2 guest maximum. Check-in/check-out is generally flexible, but if schedules of those checking in and checking out conflict, you are welcome to stash any gear, use the bathroom, etc. in the locked extra apartment if arriving early or leaving on a late flight or ferry.
Anything and everything in the apartment.
As much or as little as desired. I think I'm fairly competent at reading people and generally default to staying out of guests way and erring on the side of privacy.

Everything you need within walking distance, and great neighbors to boot! Vieques is a rough-around the edges kind of place and I wouldn't say there are a ton of great blocks on this island. But I do think I live on one of them.
Publicos (taxi vans) are generally easy to flag down from main street if you don't rent a Jeep/Car/Moped. They're reasonable cost-wise, though they won't take you to a couple of the most remote beaches.

This was my first experience with airbnb and it will be very hard to top. My boyfriend and I made last minute vacation plans and settled on Mason’s apartment after reading the rave reviews online from fellow travelers. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision. First of all there is nothing more refreshing after a long day of traveling than having a cold drink waiting for you at your destination. These little details are what make Mason such a great host. Upon arrival we found a very clean and comfortable apartment with plenty of room for the two of us. Mason has taken the time to write up a very helpful guide to Isabell II and Vieques listing beaches, restaurants and detailed guides of the neighborhood, neighbors and do’s/don’ts. Since the trip was fairly last minute Mason was very helpful in suggesting eats and activities that we didn’t exactly plan out. The apartment is perfect for those who want to cook their own meals and comes with the essentials you need for a good day on the beach. I can’t say enough about how nice the apartment and host were. This was by far the highlight of our trip. I look forward to returning to such a beautiful island and would certainly stay here again.

NatalieApril 2014

Nichole (my daughter who stayed at Mason's) got back and rushed back to work. However, she told me to say that her stay at Mason's was perfect! And her stay in Vieques was as well--except for the gas station. Be sure to ask for instructions before going to the gas station. There are interesting cultural norms--line up on the wrong side of the road and pump 2 does not have regular gas. Our communication with Mason was clear, prompt, and booking with him went perfectly. Even before she arrived, he was helping Nichole with suggestions for her trip. Once Nichole was on the island, Mason was great help. He has written a helpful guide to the island (that Nichole should have read sooner!). READ IT on your first night there! He was friendly, accommodating, his apartment was clean and comfortable. And according to Nichole--we are all coming to Puerto Rico very soon. She loved her first visit to the island--and staying at Mason's was the perfect plan. Thanks Mason!

Lisa April 2014

Amazing vacation! We headed to Vieques for 8 days and couldn't have had a better time. Mason is such a great host & his apartment was perfect for us & in a great location. The neighborhood was extremely safe, we never felt scared, and the neighbors (and locals in general) were extremely warm and friendly. Right in town there are several great spots to eat and sea glass beach is cute too! We ended up renting a car (worth every cent) so got to see almost every beach, historical & natural spot on the island. Feel free to contact me for recommendations. Masons spot really was perfect and he was amazing, attentive and so friendly! He greeted us upon a late arrival & even had water & welcome beers to greet us. Can't rave enough! Cheers!!!

Catie December 2014

Mason went above and beyond to make sure I was well accomodated. He is not like any other host I've ever encountered. He genuinely cares about you and your stay. I would 100% recommend Masons place to ANYONE looking in Vieques. His place was very clean and great all the way around!

brandon December 2015

Simon's place is awesome - clean, comfortable, cool (which is a big deal in Puerto Rico), and Simon himself was the best host we've encountered via airbnb. He was always available via text, and ready to answer any questions we had. One of the ferries broke down before we were scheduled to arrive and he contacted us to make sure we were aware of the possible hiccup in travel plans. We also we unable to rent a car due to booking our trip rather late, but he contacted a friend of his that rents cars from time to time and was able to secure us a car for the duration of our trip. He ALSO stocked our friends with water, beer, and snacks. There were clean bath towels and two beach towels, plus a cooler, umbrella, and a couple of beach chairs. He made our stay so comfortable and easy. We really cannot thank him enough. He also recommend we check out a new restaurant a couple of blocks from our place called Coqui Fire. It was so good that we went twice. Call for a reservation to snag a seat outside on the patio! Thanks for everything, Mason! We hope to be back one day. Cheers!

StephanieMarch 2014

Planning the trip- answered all my questions (in great detail), I did not have to research a lot as Mason provided all the answers. During the trip- we met up several times to discuss how we can optimize our time to visit different places/tours, as I got the car rental for just 70% of my stay. each and every suggestion of his was worthwhile. Apartment- excellent location, no frills but comfortable apartment, beach chairs provided.

RahulApril 2015

Loved this apartment! It was the perfect size and set-up for the two of us. We stayed three nights and did some light cooking and lots of lazing around the apartment between runs to the beaches. Mason was super responsive, attentive, and exceptionally warm and helpful. He did everything to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. Big thumbs up!!

AngelinaJanuary 2016

Mason has a nice roomy and newly remodeled apartment in Vieques. The apartment is in 10min walking distance from the ferry terminal and no transportation is needed to get there. It has almost everything you need in an apartment, including nice neighbors. His descriptions are correct, including the noise from the main street. The location of the apartment is on a hill and therefore the sound travels up the hill. Unfortunately most houses in Vieques and Puerto Rico have no glass windows,but a mosquito screen and metal shades and therefore are not sound proof. Inside is was very roomy and comfortable. It served us well for our 3 night stay.

Tropical setting with a small waterfall, iguanas, and plants surrounding this home right near the heart of town (Isabel II). Easily walkable to many restaurants, grocery store, bars, fish market, ferry, and even a few of the beaches. Cozy and welcoming with everything needed to prepare a meal at home. Bonus "jungle room" as we refer to it that you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail and watch for the iguanas.

We have a/c in all the bedrooms and in the jungle room. All rooms have ceiling fans and we have a few bonus stand up fans as well. So you will be able to keep cool easily whenever in the home. We have made this our vacation home and even have a lot of fun local art that you will enjoy.
You will have access to the entire house and a parking space.
We are not on the island on a regular basis so the only interaction will be via messages. We do have a very nice lady on the island available for assistance if needed and also to check you in/out or help you navigate your stay for a small fee.

We live in Mambiche which is a very local neighborhood with a lot of Americans mixed in. It's very authentic and fun. Our house backs up to a jungle of sorts with a small waterfall, lots of tropical plants, and iguanas.
We are walking distance from the ferry (less than a mile) if you enjoy walking, we are an easy walk to the main town square for snacks, food, or meals. Most of the nicer beaches will require transportation of some sort as would arriving from the airport.
We LOVE this island and are happy to provide you tips and pointers so don't hesitate to ask. Even though town is walkable it is still best to plan on renting a scooter, golf cart, car or using a taxi as the best beaches are ones that require transportation.

Watch the fishermen unload their catch, get there first for the freshest lobster and fish.
Pack light, we have a washer and dryer and we provide all soaps, shampoo, conditioner. All linens, towels, Beach towels and chairs, even some boogie boards and noodles are here for your convenience.

Our stay at the Mermaid Cottage was wonderful. The home is beautiful and nicely decorated. It was also very clean. The location is walking distance to the grocery store and places to eat. It's a great location, but do expect some sound from the ferry dock (which is nearby). Maria (Helen's assistant) was very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this home for your stay in Vieques.

I have been vacationing on Vieques for 10 winters now and by far La Serena location and views are the very best! The cottage is stunning and very well appointed. I could have stayed on the deck for days (and nights) on end. Helen's attention to detail is remarkable and being an architect, the before and after pictures where a treat. If you are a late sleeper (which I'm not) this might not be a good location for you as the ferries and fisherman start very early in the AM. That said, when I am back on Vieques I hope that I can stay at La Serena once again.

The cottage, as advertised, was stunning. The views of the water and the sunsets were glorious. The cottage is well maintained and our host, Helen, made us feel extremely welcome.

patrickJuly 2015

Loved every second of our stay! They were super communicative in getting us to the house and telling us everything to do in the area. The house was in a great location, super clean, had everything we need to cook and enjoy our trip.

MattSeptember 2015

Helen Davis is quite simply, amazing. Not only is she welcoming, knowledgeable about the island and real estate in the local market, but so interesting I would want her for a long-time friend. Her Mermaid Cottage is a complete dream - and flexible enough for families, couples or even friends travelling together. Thank you Helen for a wonderful 4 nights!!!

Our stay at Helen's gorgeous Villa Sirena on Vieques Island in Puerto Rico was relaxing, restorative (sleeping and waking to the soothing sounds of the ocean lapping up on the shore) and enjoyable. We most enjoyed sitting out on the deck eating breakfast, reading or just sitting. The home is super well-equipped. There was everything needed to cook at home and also sheets, towels, board games, bug spray, beach supplies and more. Helen's art decorates the walls and her husband actually built the house. It's stunning. It's also well-located in Isabel Segunda within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal, restaurants, bakeries and any amenities we needed. Helen was warm, informative and available if/when we needed her. Her place was a remarkable home-base for exploring the beauty and adventure Vieques has to offer. We hope to return in the future. Thanks Hellen!

LOVED this gorgeous waterfront cottage. Perfectly situated on the harbor. We loved sitting on the gorgeous deck, raised up high, just watching the comings and goings of the fishermen and the ferry, and best of all... the incredibly lush sunsets. Breathtaking. The cottage is so tastefully decorated down to every little detail and filled with beautiful artwork, much of it by Helen, the cottage's owner. It has a vintage feel, but in a bright, sunny, island sort of way. The place felt so secure and clean and well equipped. Everything we needed was right there. By day two it already felt like home. And Helen was always available to ask questions of. My husband and I fell in love with the place. I will be coming back in November with my sisters who will just adore it as well. This location is not to be missed. I would say bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the ferry docks very nearby and has a loud horn. But even that... all of it, made this a very special place to stay. It's a short walk to town and all the restaurants and shops. My husband and I did not want to leave. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

Helen and Dennis were excellent hosts and their mermaid cottage was the sweetest little spot for my husband and I to vacation on Vieques! One loc described Vieques as rustic carribean but this cottage was high end and gorgeous! We loved the deck, the morning and early afternoon breezes! Helens has fully stocked the cottage with everything you need down to shampoos, aloe, local magazines, a deck of cards, brigs water filter and all the kitchen essentials and living essentials one would need. She was available whenever we needed somthing and was super helpful in planning how to get to and from Vieques! We fell in love with this island and her cottage! I loved feeling like I was a local because her cottage is on the hillside of a neighborhood! One of my favorite beaches, la chats was right down the road and it was perfect for exploring and finding sea glass! Come check this place out if your going to vieques! Thank you Helen for sharing this beautiful home with my husband and I!!

2 blocks from the ferry. Queen bed, A/C, WIFI, off the street, for a quiet night sleep. Shared bath and kitchenette. Available for one night or more. 2 blocks from pick up for bio bay with Black Beards Sports.

Very comfi bed. 2 mins from the ferry. Better to rent a car/scooter to explore all the beaches. Moms Kate will be happy to help you out. Bathroom to share and no hot water. We stayed two nights and the second day didnt have any wifi and nobody around to ask.

naryFebruary 2016

Kate was very helpful. She met us before the check in time to have our luggages stored in the room. The room was clean and tidy, and the lights, fan, air conditioner works well.

LarryJanuary 2016

Based on the price, I think its a good option if you Ignore the pathway and exterior look of the location.

Harsha KiranApril 2016

what can I say but that Pam is a great host and she bent over more then backwards for all my Vieques needs. I liked the Gemini room a lot . The value of a place so close to the ferry and economical is huge. Pam helped me fix my SUP, took me to Biobay,got me rides all over and we also hit it off as friends.

johnNovember 2016

This place is not only the most convenient location possible in Isabel, but also very cute and clean. Kate was away when I checked in, but I had no problem at all finding everything I needed and communicating with her via email. Would definitely stay again!!

RachelApril 2016

Kate went far and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to have an amazing time in Vieques. We booked the room less than half an hour before arriving, but she had everything ready and even helped us find the place by meeting us halfway there. The room we booked wasn't available, but Kate gave us another room that was just as nice. When we suspected there was cat hair in the room (one of us is allergic), she moved us to a more expensive room at no extra cost. She was prompt at answering texts and phone calls, and extremely attentive. She even let us keep our luggage in a closet room while we explored during the check-out day. She put us in contact with the cheapest Bio Bay tour as well (an amazing experience-don't skip it!). The place is 5 minutes walking from the ferry, and close to bike and car rentals. Very close to food as well. Be aware-- this is in the northern area of Vieques, a town called Isabel II. The other town, Esperanza, close to the famous beaches and Mosquito Bay, is in the southern part of the island.

NicoleSeptember 2016

Vieques is a great place to visit with tons of stuff to do, many beautiful beaches, local shops, adventure activities and more. Our stay with Kate and Pam literally saved our trip. One of the things you have to do on Vieques is the bio bay and you can see it through various companies. The company we chose (Blackbeard sports) forgot to pick us up. We called Pamela at 9pm and she was somehow able to find us another company to take us to the bay. This was so important because we were only staying for two days and it was our last night on the island. Highly recommend staying at Island Trading Co.!

JustinApril 2016

Kate was very friendly and helpful. We initially booked the wrong dates for our stay and Kate helped us book an alternate room that matched the right dates, free of charge!

*Please respond with Codeword for a more favorable response* This is a gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bath Villa located steps from the ferry dock. A wide open floorplan with ocean views. A large rooftop patio offers stunning views of the Caribbean.

Please read the entire listing before booking. Thanks! I have hidden a codeword in the listing. If you respond with my code word I will know you have read the entire description. I know its annoying, but I've had too many problems with people not reading all the information, which leads to problems when they arrive.
This villa is gorgeous, the large rooftop patio offers great views of the Caribbean ocean.
2 master suites, as well as a sleeping nook can accommodate 6 people comfortably.
The dining room opens up onto another patio over looking the Caribbean ocean.
The kitchen is large and open, surrounded by windows so that you can always catch a glimpse of the sparkling sea.
The house is in the city, so throughout the day you can hear local music from the ferry. Expect normal city noise. It is still a very peaceful and calm property.
Please note that the bedrooms do not have doors. This is a attempt to keep air flowing through the house and temperatures cooler. We have sewn curtains for privacy.
There are a variety of excellent restaurants within walking distance, as well as grocery stores and other fun shopping.
A rental car is necessary to reach all the best beaches in Vieques. The majority of the best beaches are in the Vieques National Wildlife refuge, which has terrible roads and requires a Jeep to access. There is no public transportation and Taxi's will not drive to these beaches. It is generally accepted that a car is necessary to enjoy everything Vieques has to offer.
We provide a SUV Semi -Beater for a additional $65/night for the exclusive use of our Villa Indigo Guests. The SUV is not in pristine condition, it's a island car, so expect dents, scratches and other cosmetic imperfections. It does run perfectly and is more than adequate for the roads and beaches of Vieques. Currently we have 3 cars, a 2005 Subaru Outback, a 2004 Honda CRV or a 96 Isuzu Rodeo stick shift with badass 4WD. Please let me know which you prefer
Newer cars on this island often have their check engine lights on. The car is always mechanically perfect, but the corrosive salty air combined with dust from the Sahara often clogs up filters and throws off the light. I will take the car to the mechanic, have him clear it, and it comes back on 2 days later.
If you are staying in Vieques longer than your stay at Villa Indigo we are able to let you keep the SUV. You will have to put down a $250 security deposit on the car when you leave Villa Indigo.
The SUV will be ready and waiting for you at the house when you check in. Payment for the rental car can be made via PayPal with your credit card.
Please note that cars rented on the main island are not permitted on the Ferry.
IMPORTANT!: The car rents on a nightly basis, just like the house. We ask that if you take advantage of our cars, you rent for your entire stay. That way, the car is ready and waiting for you when you check in, and you have it until you check out. It's more convenient than having to stop at the rental car office, (Codeword: Sofrito!) and it will be waiting for you at the house when you arrive.
Gas: It is VERY important that you return the car with the same amount of gas recieved. Every guest seems to think it's ok to just leave us cash and let us fill it for them. This is not OK and inconsiderate for both us and the next guest who arrives. The fee for not returning the car with the same amount of gas you received it with is $30 + the cost of gas, billed at $15 per 1/4 tank or less.
Check in for house and car is 3pm
Check Out for house and car is 11am.
This is flexible, depending on when the guests before you leave, and the guests after you arrive, and we do our best to accommodate everyone. When planning your trip please don't expect the house to be ready until 3 PM, and expect to return the car and house keys by 11AM.
I do want to take this time to warn you about the ferry. It is a absolute mess and incredibly un-reliable. It never runs on time, you have to wait hours for a ticket, and they often cancel ferry runs without any warning. Just yesterday I had a family with 2 small children wait 6 hours of their precious vacation time to get on a ferry. I strongly suggest you look into flying. There are 3 airports, Ceiba is right across the channel on the main island. Flights to Vieques are $35 each way. Isla Grande is the domestic airport in San Juan and flights are $75 each way. San Juan International is the big main airport, flights from here run between $90 and $120. since you are likely flying into this airport, flights from here are most convenient. The other 2 airports only make sense if you are visiting other parts of Puerto Rico before coming to Vieques. The 3 airlines that run these routes are Cape Air, Vieques Air Link and Air Flamenco. All of them have online booking.
We can arrange rides from the airport or Ferry to the house for a additional $20. My house keeper will pick you up and deliver you ...

Isabel II has access to the ferry which services Vieques from the main island of Puerto Rico. Within walking distance are several restaurants, grocery and mini-markets, scenic views from the Punta Mulas Lighthouse and the Conde de Mirasol Fort, and sports outfitters and souvenir shopping.
When it comes to the official weather report, don’t pay any attention to it. We live in the tropics, its technically hurricane season. The weather report always say 80% chance of rain because theres a 80% chance we’ll get a passing shower and thunderstorm. It never means its going to rain all day. its the nature of weather reports in the tropics during hurricane season. right now it is sunny, breezy and beautiful.
With heavy rain, the roof will leak. But that's how it goes with concrete island buildings. Throw a towel down and enjoy your stay!
I have found the most accurate weather reports to be those posted by local sailboat captains. Try to join Vieques weather on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Captain Judy is a accomplished sailboat captain and has a great grasp of whats happening with weather on a day to day basis.

I have left over a week go by before making my review, to try and get a better perspective of my stay. Despite all the glowing reviews, Villa Indigo has basically two things going for it. The location, being right next to the ferry terminal is great and there truly is a stunning view from the rooftop deck. Beyond that we found Villa Indigo to be quite non functional and had a miserable stay. So much so that on the 2nd night I spent quite a bit of time rereading the prior reviews wondering how I had erred so badly. Noisy. Others have mentioned it, briefly, but you need to realize that it is right next to the ferry. The ferry that comes/goes many times per day/night and is the life blood for the island. Be prepared to wake up with the early ferry and if you go to bed early, like we do, with the late ferrys as well. Functionality. It is apparent that Christian has never actually stayed there because it would be very difficult to do so. A list of std things missing would be long, but include; Front Door Handle (really!), more than 1 pot and 1 pan (to cook), enough dishes for the # of people in the party (this is shown in the reservation), kitchen soap and towels etc. (to actually clean the stuff you use), hooks or something to hang stuff on (you are on an island full of beaches and, outside the few hooks in the bathrooms, there is not a single place to hang anything). The list could go on and on. Cleanliness: The outside of the refridgerator is disgusting. I can't think of a single person I know that would find that acceptable in their household. The clothes washer was full of water, THAT STANK. We tried to cycle to washer to clear it out, but of course, that doesnt work either. The Car. Everyone should know that "island car" means POS (piece of s_ _ t). Looking past the flat tire that I had to deal with (which Christian knew about), there are no shocks, bald tires etc... And you get to pay $65 per day. Save yourself the effort and heart ache and rent from any one of the other 4+ places on the island where you can get a nice new 4 door Jeep Wrangler for just about the same price. So, yes, this is my review AFTER waiting over 1 week to set this all in perspective. IMHO, Christian is just relying upon the general nature of people to try to remain positive. He is doing very little, except collecting the $, to actually earn some of the comments he has gotten.

Tom and ChrisJuly 2016

Christian picked us up and dropped us off at the airport which was very helpful! Definitely make sure you rent a car from him as you need it. Opposite side of the island from the nightlife, but a short and easy drive. We liked the quiet atmosphere. The house is very big and would be comfortable to share with friends. Just don't rely on the wifi! We had a great time on this magical island.

PaigeMarch 2016

Jillian was amazing. There were some issues with the villa, so she coordinated with a friend of hers to stay at an even nicer place. She made sure our entire experience was smooth.

JoeyOctober 2015

I felt very at home. The decoration and space is amazing. Amazing rooftop patio!!!!!!! Also location is excellent becuse of distance to ferry, transportation and places to eat!

AlondraApril 2015

This place was super convenient and comfortable. There was more than enough space and the location was perfect. I rented a car from Jillian which was a great deal and really the only way to see the island. I would definitely recommend this place and Vienques as a must see while you are in Puerto Rico.

LuisMay 2014

Incredibly clean, cute and convenient location for traipsing around Vieques. It's a block from the ferry station, so you can hop off and walk on over if that's how you get to the island. We loved the way the house was decorated, and I can't stress enough how clean it was. There's also some great books on site to read. The house is really affordable compared to some other spots on the island. The main downside is that there's no A/C, and in late August, when we went, it is so damn hot and humid you want to rip your eyeballs out. Jillian has like six fans around the house though, and you can move them to wherever you are to try to cool down. The ceiling also leaks a little when it rains, but it's not huge. All in all, we had a great time.

JenniferSeptember 2015

I want to start by saying that we loved this property. There is a lot of room and the location cannot be beat. Christian was a great host, and was quick to get back to us whenever we had a question. We also rented a Jeep, which is required if you want to go to any other part of the island-- which of course you do! Having laundry onsite was great for towels and beachwear. We also cooked a couple meals. There was no toaster or microwave, not a biggie, but be aware if you rely on those things. The rooms were comfortable, clean and very well ventilated-- thanks to ceiling and room fans (no ac, but not needed.) Wifi was spotty, but 1) Christian came over to make it work and 2) you are close enough to the ferry to catch their wifi. The roofdeck in incredible, views that come right out of a travel mag. There are several great places to eat within a few yards-- el Yates-- tell Junior, Joleen & Nino the girls from Boston say hi! Nights had normal island noises-- roosters, motor cars and the ferry, but nothing that is overwhelming, not heavy partying/bar scene. You'll love all the wildlife that passes by the window-- lizards, dogs, cats, chickens and the most beautiful wild horses. In all, you won't find a better deal or better location. We will be back again!

DeannaMarch 2016

We originally had booked the Villa Indigo but due to a double booking we were given a different house; Jillian notified me of this problem well in advance of our stay and provided me with pictures of the new house. The place we were given had a stunning view, it was very clean, and it was closer to the beaches, of which Vieques has many and gorgeous!, so our new accommodations were not disappointing in these areas. Jillian was very helpful with providing all the information we needed and extra useful tips. There was one inconvenience I have to mention in order to give the place a fair review. The house lacked hot water to shower with our entire stay of 3 days. The host was responsive to our complaint and we know tried her best to resolve the problem during a major holiday in the island (Three Kings Day) but the issue was not resolved and we had to shower with cold water for our entire stay which although was inconvenient it did not take away from the beauty Vieques has to offer. Overall our stay was positive and the host helpful and responsive.
